USD Clearing and Payments has recently been featured as one of the most innovative team with the launch of AI models for sanctions.

As AVP AML Level 1 Investigator, you are expected to perform a thorough review of transactions and parties (or a sample of transactions depending on the number of parties at stake) that generated each suspicious activity alerts. This consist in:

- determining if transactions reviewed seem legitimate and economically sound
- Identifying the parties - their existence, business purpose, geographical location, services provided by BNPP and expected transactional behavior
